More About Brännland - Apple Ice 2024 375ml

Brännland Apple Ice 2024 is a Swedish ice-cider made from 100 % Mutsu apples; the juice is naturally concentrated by cold, then fermented to yield a wine-like sweetness balanced by bright acidity. 

In the glass it pours a light golden colour with a fresh bouquet of crisp apple, stone-fruit and citrus. On the palate, expect stone-fruit and citrus-driven sweetness followed by a smooth, long acid backbone — the result is sweet yet balanced, with a refreshingly clean finish. 

With an ABV of around 9.5 % and residual sugar in the region of 92 g/L, it sits somewhere between a dessert wine and a rich cider — a versatile bottle that works nicely as a dessert or cheese wine; or, for something more unexpected, alongside rich dishes like pork shank, choucroute or poultry with creamy sauces.

Brannland

Style: Cider & Ice Cider

Brännland is one of the most exciting cider producers in Scandinavia and living proof that Sweden is capable of far more than flat-pack furniture and quietly judging your life choices through minimalist design. Based in northern Sweden near Umeå, Brännland specialises in ice cider, a style more commonly associated with Canada where apples are naturally concentrated by freezing temperatures before fermentation. Fortunately for cider fans, northern Sweden also gets quite cold. Spectacularly cold, in fact.

The result is cider that feels somewhere between dessert wine, apple eau de vie and liquid winter orchard magic. Brännland’s ice ciders are intensely concentrated but beautifully balanced, packed with baked apple, honey, caramel, citrus peel and spice while still carrying razor-sharp acidity that keeps everything fresh and dangerously drinkable. They’re rich without becoming cloying, which is much harder to pull off than people often realise.

What makes Brännland especially interesting is how seriously they approach cider as a fine drinks category rather than simply “beer for people who don’t like beer.” The production methods are meticulous, the fruit quality is exceptional and the finished ciders often show the same complexity and ageing potential you’d expect from serious dessert wines. There’s a real sense of craftsmanship running through everything they produce.

Scandinavian drinks culture has quietly become one of the most exciting scenes in the world over the past decade or so, with producers embracing local ingredients and cooler-climate styles in incredibly creative ways. Brännland fits perfectly into that movement: elegant, distinctive and just weird enough to keep things interesting.
